EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hello, I've just joined and happy to be here!

I have just gotten the PMI Bösendorfer from Michiel Post and it 
seems just fabulous. Only thing is, I can;t use it! 

I suppose that it is just too heavy for my system.  So...please 
gove me advice. I want to learn how to use samples kike this. I 
have a TiBook 500 running OSX  10.2.6 with 768 mb ram. I'm 
using Logic Platinum 6.2 with the ESX24II. I am storing the 
samples on external 7200 oxford 911 drives (not sure of the 
caches). 

Any expert recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Franklin

Have you tried playing with the virtual memory settings in EXS?  If you 
set disk drive speed to slow and recording activity to extensive you 
will get the maximum RAM buffering.  Also, under sampler preferences, 
do you have sample storage set to 32 bit float?  This will take up some 
more RAM but should yield better polyphony.

Forgive me if these suggestions have been mentioned already.... I only 
skimmed this thread...

Thanks Mike,

actually these specific setting shave notbeen mentioned before.  
The virtual memory has been mentioned but not the optimum 
settings. I will try these.

all the best,

Franklin
